Verruckt is a Zombies map from the original Black Ops that arrived in 2010. Per the Easter Egg in Treyarch’s game, Oppenheimer had an exchange of letters with Dr. V. Bush.
While writing to the latter, the scientist mentioned his visit to the Verruckt asylum, where he found a letter containing a limerick from “John”, a.k.a Banana. According to Cod Lore Facts, this Easter egg is from Black Ops 1’s single-player Campaign taking place in Terminal.
